Rain Rain Go Away…..

Waking up to the roar of thunder and flash of lightning, I’m suddenly reminded of the scene from “The Sound of Music” where Maria sings and dances with the children about “My Favourite things” and not feeling “So Bad”. Well, Maria was a nun. What works for me on rainy days is a special someone to curl up next to, preferably under a warm blanket on the couch with a good black and white movie running on the telly. I don’t care what Maria says, Lil’ Miz Daixy insists “Nothing beats having someone warm to hold you when it’s raining cats and dogs.’ and “besides, my curtains need a wash and aren’t so good for rubbing my face in”. Cary Grant in “Arsenic and Old Lace” does it for me every time.

Being alone on this cold dreary night and wanting something to distract me, I’ve chosen to make myself hungry by watching video tutorials on the art of sushi. It sure beats staring at the lightning flashing at my window and jumping every time the thunder rolls.

It’s been a while since I played with food and now I must find myself a bamboo mat and wasabi, and someone to take me on a date to a good sushi restaurant 😉

I LOVE STORMY NIGHTS; I LOVE STORMS.I like to take a bath outside in the rain, then run quickly into the house, towel down, curl under a thick cloth and watch a movie (preferably a comedy); i usually fall asleep before it ends. 🙂

Old movies, hmmmmmmmm, TNT classic movies; My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music, Susubribi and I Told You So(Ghanaian). Ah, the good old days. 🙂

@Tetekai. You’re so darned lucky. Once upon a time, I danced in the rain and sang songs from My Fair Lady and Singing in the rain. Couple hours later and I was wheezing up a storm and ended up with a fever. You can have the cold showers to yourself 😛

Nothing beats a classic b&w movie. I’m gonna see if I can expand my collection of those. Arsenic and Old Lace is top on my list of wants 😀

I’ve been told to get a big teddy bear, to make up for the missing special someone on those lonely nights. Will look into it.
